Louisiana Tech’s big-play, tackle-breaking spark plug
In his Louisiana Tech career from 2014 to 2016, Carlos Henderson was a true explosives merchant: 147 catches, 2,878 receiving yards, 28 receiving touchdowns, and a reputation for turning short throws into chunk plays, plus elite return value and tackle-breaking ability[6][15]. His 2016 season was the headline act — 82 receptions, 1,535 yards, 19 receiving scores, and 48 forced missed tackles, which PFF noted was far beyond the next-best receiver in that category[6][3][11]. If you want a receiver who brings juice, YAC violence, and special-teams upside, Henderson fits; if you want a low-variance possession target, he’s more boom than beige.
